To all whom it mm concern Be it known t at I, Masons L. DAY, a citizenof the United States, residing at Polson, in the county of Flathead andState of Montana, have invented new and useful Improvements inPipe-Fasteners, of which the following is a specification. 1 The presentinvention relates to pipe sustaining devices for the flues of chimneys,

In carrying out my invention itis my purpose to provide simple andeffective means which are adapted to be-employed in the construction ofan ordinary brick chimney and which are further adapted to support andmaintain within the flue opening of the chimney the smoke pipe ,ofanrdi-' nary stove, v I also aimtoyprovide a device of this characterwhich shall be'simple in construction, cheap to manufacture, and readilypositioned so as to notinterfere with the laying of the brickscomprising the chimney but which will also form reinforcements for thechimney. t

It is also my purpose-to provide a pipe fastener which, shall besustained between the courses of brick directly above and below.'the'flue opening, the said fastener preferably comprising a pair ofelements, each be-. ing formed from a single strand of wire, and each ofthe said strands having a portion which projects beyond the chimneybreast, and which isprovided with an eye for the reception of thestraightenedends of pipe engaging loops. The portion of j each of themembers, which may be termed the body thereof, embodies spaced connected7 arms, the rear. portion of which being arranged at'a right angle tothe said body, the 4,0 s ace between the rightangular portion and t ebody providing or the reception of the mortar employed in theconstrimtion of the. chimney breast, and the said mortar efiec-- tively.sustaining the fasteners immovably on the said'chimney breast.

With the foregoing objects 111 view, the invention further consists inthe novel construction, combinatikm and arrangement of parts set forth'inandfalling within the sec e of the appened claim. v n the drawing,Figure 1 is asect'ionel view of a chimne showing my deiu'ce appliedthereon. ig. 2 is a. perspectiveview of one'of the stove pipe, sustammgSpecification or Letters am Application filed June 12, 1912.

Patented cam o, 914? the bricks. of the chimney which is arranged- Inthe drawing, 1 designates a'chimn'ey of" brlck construction, and '2 thestove pipe opening therein. 3-+3 indicate, what I term, the tie mem--here which are adapted to be arranged between the bricks that providethe walls of the opening 2. Each of these membersfiii comprises anelongated arm 4- which has its free end bent to provide an eye 5, whileits opposite end is bentat an angle to the member 4 and providesasubstantially U-shaped member 6, the end of which is continued in aplane with but at a suitable distance from the arm 4, and provides whatI term the shorter arm 7 of the device. This arm has its extremity bentangularly toward the arm 4, and the said angular portion is loopedaround the said arm 4, as indicated by the numeral 8. As illustrated inthe drawing, the tie'memhers are permanently secured betweenthe brickswhlch form the Wall of a chimneyabout the flue opening and are locatedon opposite sides of the said opening. The

arms at and'7 are disposed longitudinally between two of the brickswhile their U-shaped members 6 are disposed vertically or in a line withthe inner end or side of the bricks forming the walls of the opening 2,the said 7 tie receiving the mortar which connects the bricks. Theelongated arms 4 project a suitable distance beyond the chimney, andtheir eyes 5 are adapted to receive the ends of a wire member. 9 whichhas its central portion looped around the horizontal ortion or thatportion of a stove pipe 10 wiich enters the '0 ening 6. The eye of thelower member 4 a soj'receives the end of a wire member 9 the said Wirebeing looped around and securcd'to the vertical ortion of the pipe 10.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is;

he members permanently secured between the courses of brick which formthe wall of A pipe fastener for chimneys consisting of the chimney abouta fine openingand located I I on opposite sides ofsaid openin each of 5said members formed of a piece 0? wire and com risingan elongated armprojecting beyon the chimney wall andhnving: an eye at its outer end,the inner end of the said I arm being bent up at an angle to form aopening, and t e loop member having extensions secured to the eyes ofthe tie arms, A 10 and a' w re loop' member secured to the yerticalportion of the stove pipe and having an extension secured to the eye ofone of the tie arms.

In testlmony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
